Rimac Energy, the new energy storage division of EV supercar company Rimac, has unveiled its new product at the Energy Storage Summit CEE.

The product’s core differentiating feature is its distributed inverter topology architecture, sometimes called an “AC battery”, where the inverter capability is distributed amongst all of the modules giving independent control over every 18 cells.

“That means more granular balancing, more redundancy, more energy extracted, longer lifetime, and all of that control to really make it a software-defined product,” Moorhouse said.

Furthermore, he claimed the BESS would have the best cycle life in the lithium-ion BESS industry at 12,000 cycles, the highest AC round-trip efficiency at over 92%, and the best energy density at 280kWh per square metre.
